Hi Rich,

you can learn developping Rails very simply by using our virtual
development environment : VirtualRails


this is free, very easy and fast :

1) download and install virtualbox (see www.virtualbox.org, graphic
wizard, 5 minutes for total newbie)
2) download and install virtualrails (instructions here :
www.virtualrails.org/node/3 , 5 minutes for total newbie)
3) run virtual rails

and then you have on your windows system a totally configured linux
with ruby, rails, netbeans for RoR development, MySQL, and several
other useful tools all ready to go !
give it a try :)
